Question:
Which two special conditions indicate that you should downshift?
Answer: Starting down a hill and entering a curve
Explanation
Downshifting before starting down a hill allows you to take advantage of engine braking. You should downshift to the gear required, which is usually lower than the gear required to climb the hill. Downshifting before a curve improves stability and ensures you will have the power available to accelerate out of the turn.
